...Saber Alidadi, MSc; Rasoul Alipour, PhD; Mohammadreza Shakeri, PhD The current research was implemented to monitor and rehabilitate the structural health of Masjed-E-Soleyman dam (MESD). With a height of 177 m, the MESD is one of the highest rockfill dams in Iran, and suffers from extensive...

...A. Soroush; A. Aghaei Araei This paper reviews the effects of first impounding on rockfill dams. In particular, saturation collapse phenomena induced by wetting of rockfills are highlighted. Major attention is given to the effects of impounding-induced saturation on the mechanical behaviour...

...S. N. Keskin; U. S. Cavus; H. Yıldırım It is well known that the construction of a wider impervious core for earthfill dams provides greater piping resistance and a greater resistance to earthquakes, which can cause internal cracks within the core. Also, designing a wide core can minimise...

... of the extraction of minerals is a tailings slurry which may be impounded behind specially designed dams. The objective of this study is to predict accurately the capacity of a reservoir when waste material is impounded. The process consists of the transport of particles and sedimentation, which take place...
